    I was told many years ago that I had dry eyes. But I didn’t realise how much of a problem it was. That was until one morning, I couldn’t open my eyes. And both my eyes were crusted over and I could hardly open my eyelids. I saw an eye specialist and had 3 months of treatment with antibiotic drops. And I now have to take “dry eye” drops for the rest of my life. But I never knew that dry eyes was linked to the menopause! So, thank you for this podcast.

      @@Hahnefrau01Not sure about the other poster but I take Testosterone in gel form. I apply 1 pump to my skin every 2 days. My doctor actually suggested applying it every other day but I found that was too strong.
